Been running for a few years now. But just curious as to why my heart rate is always so high during my easy runs. Even when I go between 7-7:30 min/mile my HR would be anywhere from 160-170. It is always very high when compared to my training partner (140-160). Is this normal, should I be concerned?

Can be normal, if your HRmax is higher than your partner and your HRmax 210++
If your HRmax less than 210, then:
160-170 at 07:00/07:30 easy run in general, indicates that you are beginner and have not been developed, and your easy pace is not 07:00/07:30
You might be anemic. Have you had your iron tested?

You might be doing too much slow running David.
Have you had your sprint tested?
Are you sure your HR data is correct? If you are using wrist-based HR and it isn’t right enough or is too close to your wrist bone, it’s likely locking into your run cadence rather than your HR. Pretty common.
*tight enough.

Maybe my HRmax is higher. and no I am not a beginner, I have been running for 7+ yrs now. Got solid PRs too: mile= 4:20, 5k= 15:15

Not sure but I use the data from my watch, the garmin app, and strava as well

No. The doctor literally said he can't test my sprint.

the data is no good. don't trust data from optical HRM on a watch. even chest straps fail often.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
